    Easy.. Take a blank cent then put two normal cents on both sides. Stick all 3 into a vise then put enough pressure to leave an incused image on both sides of the center coin.

    They are called a "vise job", and no they are not made at the mint by the machines that produce the coins. They are made by people trying to rip off someone else such as on etsy, and the other less monitored sites. We see on the average about 1 a day here by someone who was told it was worth a lot of money. Be aware. Welcome Jim

    I don't know if I know what the hell I am doing but I think I was able to upload some pictures on the incused lincoln wheat
    Well I was wondering how that might be pulled off and your explanation sounds like that would do it

    It's called a vice job. Take two coins, put them together then put them in a vise and tighten. This can be done with any coin so the question is what type and how many would you like? lol Welcome is CT. :)
